Buster,
Without having sat next to you when you installed the contribution, it would be irresponsible for anyone to suggest anything based on what you posted here.

But, I will offer this..:bangin:

The IH2 contribution has already proven that it works (no software is ever going to be bug free).
Make certain that you installed all the files where they were supposed to be installed and followed the procedures indicated in the documentation.
If you did that, it would work.

Let us know how it went

Well I had to install zencart again to get everything back to normal. I still don't have image handler installed. Are there better installation instructions anywhere to be found? I followed the documentation exactly, but it didn't work out for me.

Thanks to everyone who helped me.

And, it will point to _MED and _LRG folders, IF you want more than one image per product, because you have to upload a medium and a large image for this to happen.

If you just want one image per product, you need to first, clear IH bmz_cache, found in the IH admin section, then upload one image (it has to be a large image, say 500x500, WITHOUT the _LRG) suffix to IH default image field. Then, after that, sizes are controlled by the settings in Admin>configuration>images.

The bottom 2 fields, ARE for the _MED and _LRG images, but that's ONLY if you want more than one image per product.

Hi thanks for your time, i followed your advice but still the same issue. I have tried clearing bmz cache etc.
Here is the detail of how i'm using IH2

After installing IH2, following all install instructions.
i went to zen cart admin tools IH2 admin install.

Then:
-admin>categories/products
-chosse categorie> new product
-Product name: itemtest6
-Filled in info,
-browse for image on my HD (image name: test6.jpg 500 615 px)
-preview
-insert

Now when i view the categorie page http://kivalin.com/shop/index.php?ma...=index&cPath=4
it looks fine, but when i click on the product image it doesn't show on the products page nor does it show when i click "view larger image".

I also tried adding a product with no image then using IH2 admin to add an image. same result.

Am i doing something wrong?

you need to ad files to your custom template, its in the docs

BulldogCocker - The best advice I can offer install on your test site first, make sure you are using the correct version of IH with the correct version of ZC.
The instructions are fine:yes: you must have upload a file somewhere incorrectly as the error was not finding a certain file, make sure you are uploading the the correct mode eg Binary. and then go step by step. If this fails just delete the files you have just upload and start again. Just don't panic if things go wrong work backwards.

If you use a custom template, copy the contents of
includes/templates/template_custom into your custom template's folder. If you
have modified any of the files located in this contribution's
includes/templates/template_custom folder, you need to merge these files
(popup_image_additional/tpl_main_page.php in particular) with those of your
custom template.

Thank you Thank you it's working, now lets see if I can get lightbox installed.

I'm also having the problem of the Pop up's on one store, but not another. I'm O.k. with that except that the store that has the pop ups shows the poped up image at the top of the page in the header section.
I'm looking for a way to turn off the pop ups because I like the way IH2 lets me assign one picture for all sizes, and that works fine on both stores.
The stores are Gary's Odd Stuff (has pop ups), Gary's Thrift Shop(No pop ups).
Any ideas would be great thank.

I had the same problem till I went back and saw that I missed the CSS info. In the instructions it shows a small peice of code for your css file once I put that in it worked fine. So you might double check that and I hope it helps.
